Writing has taken the back seat a little as a new obsession takes hold. I am totally obsessed with booking gigs now! I mean, it’s not the worst obsession in the world – but it’s a very tricky one to control. I’m addicted.. as soon as one is pencilled in, I begin squirrelling away on... Continue Reading →
Jennifer Burke’s Ode to Spring | EP.1
‘Beware the Ides of March!’ A Shakespearean Caesar was warned, but I feel the opposite. I welcome Spring with arms outstretched and the enrapture of a child on Christmas Eve.
